I have been using Nars Albatross. It is a white, shimmer pearl powder. I am fair and all the others I have tried either didn't show up or was too pink (I have yellow undertones). I use it in the daytime or evening with a fluffy domes brush. It pinpoints where I want to put it. I apply just above my cheekbones, my forehead, and on bridge of my nose. Then I take a smaller brush and apply it below my brow bone, inner corners of my eyes, and in the center of my cupid's bow. It really just make me glow in all the right spots! Maybe it will work for you.

I'd try something more like an illuminizer, such as the YSL Touche Eclat Radiant Touch. It brightens, but doesn't contain any glitter or sparkle It also works fantastic under your eyes to diffuse any darkness you may want to hide
